The twenty second of loneliness
And we've been through so many things.
I love my man with all honesty,
But I know he's cheating on me.
Look him in the eyes,
But all he tells me is lies to keep me near.

I'll never leave him down though I might mess around.
It's only 'cause I need some affection, oh.
So I creep, yeah, just creepin' on,
On the down low, 'cept nobody is supposed to know.
So I creep yeah, 'cause he doesn't know what I do
And no attention goes to show oh.

So I creep.
The twenty third of loneliness
And we don't talk, like we used to do.
Now this is pretty strange,
But I'm not buggin' 'cause I still feel the same.
I Keep giving loving till the day he pushes me away.
Never go a stray.

If he knew the things I did, he couldn't handle me.
And I choose to keep him protected, oh.
So I creep, yeah, just creepin' on,
But I'll know. 'cept nobody is supposed to know.
So I creep, yeah, 'cause he doesn't know what I do,
And no attention goes to show oh.

So I creep, yeah, just creepin' on,
But I'll know. 'cept nobody is supposed to know.
So I creep, yeah, 'cause he doesn't know what I do,
And no attention goes to show.

These past few for me has been good I released another album & was about to go on tour again but my personal life was not that good.

Jesse & I were always bickering & things so I sleep in another room because she is just crazy, she was especially mad when I invited Vicky & Denise over for dinner but this is my house so I do what I want.

"Jo are these your kids?" Denise asked picking up a picture of Jaylani & Jayson.

"Yeah, They are with my mom for the night" Vicky was really quiet I am surprised she wanted to come over here after our past.

The doorbell rung again, "Who could that be?" I asked confused

"Oh Jo you remember I told you about my friend Robin coming over she is a new girl at work" My wife said standing from her chair.

"No I dont remember" I replied, she shrugged swaying over to the door cracking it opened.

They came back a short time later & who was with Jesse shocked the fuck out of me.

Memories of her replayed over & over in my mind

Memories of her replayed over & over in my mind.

"Everyone this is Robin, Robin this is my wife Joanna & her friends Victoria & Denise" The girls waved but I was too caught up thinking

"Babe" Jesse nudged me causing me to break my trance.

"Yes, Hi nice to meet you"

"You too you know I am a huge fan of yours" She smiled.

We ate dinner & the whole time Robin kept staring at me & biting her lip.

It was very uncomfortable, After dinner Robin offered to help me with the dishes while everyone else was outside drinking wine.

"How you been Jo" Robin asked glancing over laying a rag down not taking her eyes off me.

"Good"

"You one wording me now?" She stepped a bit closer, I turned the water off & turned around where she had me blocked in.

"Listen to me you better stop-" she cut me off

"Or what Jo, look I always get what I want & that is you, If I have to hang around your perfect little family to get you I will" She smirked pushing her body up against mine.

I was under her spell for about a minute before Vicky interrupted us.

"Oh sorry umm Jo could you bring some more wine?" Robin stepped back

"Yeah sure" Vicky looked uncomfortable

"You know what I will take it because I need a drink" Robin said grabbing the bottle of wine & exiting the kitchen.

"What was that?" Vicky said coming closer to whisper.

"I dont know ok, I met her at a club months ago I didn't know she worked with Jesse"

"Look Jo the way you helped me dont be afraid to ask for help I gotchu" I cracked a smile as she hit my arm.

After everyone left I went out to the jacuzzi alone just to relax for a bit & clear my mind.

"Lovin' you is easy 'cause you're beautiful
Makin' love with you is all I wanna do
Lovin' you is more than just a dream come true
And everything that I do is out of lovin' you

La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Dodn-dodn-do-do, a-a-a-a-a-oh

No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring
Stay with me while we grow old
And we will live each day in springtime

"Cause lovin' you has made my life so beautiful
And every day of my life is filled with lovin' you
Lovin' you, I see your soul come shinin' through
And every time that we-, oh, I'm more in love with you"

I hummed to Minnie Riperton as the water heated up a lot more.

"Can I join you?" I heard my wife ask from behind me, I turned around to see her in the water with a glass of wine & a banging bikini on.

"Of course you can" A smile came across her face.

"What were you thinking about?" She asked sitting down on my lap.

"Nothing just thinking about us & how we could fix this marriage I dont want anything to come between us."

"We wont, Look I am sorry for being a bitch earlier, Vicky is actually a nice person I am sorry for being so mean to her."

I just smiled & grazed my lips against hers, "I accept your apology baby"

She placed a sweet kiss on my lips & she then laid her head on my shoulder as I placed kisses on her forehead.
